In the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Zhang Shangying, who served as a prime minister and wrote very sloppily, and people ridiculed him as a "grass saint", but he himself did not care. One day, he was full of poetry, dragons flying phoenixes, and he wrote with a stroke of his pen. He triumphantly handed the poem to his nephew to write. When his nephew Yu wrote, because the handwriting was too grassy, many words could not be recognized, and he could not guess how to guess left and right, so he had to take the poem manuscript to consult Zhang Shangying. Zhang Shangying took the poem manuscript and looked at it horizontally for a long time, but he still couldn't recognize it. He narrowed his eyes and scolded his nephew angrily, "Stupid! Why didn't you come and ask me earlier, now even I don't recognize it! ”
We may wish to compare, do you have the phenomenon of scribbling? Is there a time when not only can't be seen clearly by others, but also when you can't recognize yourself later? We must not write like Zhang Shangying.
Some people may say that Comrade Mao Zedong is not also very sloppy in writing? It is true that many of Comrade Mao Zedong's poems and manuscripts were written in cursive. Comrade Mao Zedong's cursive writing is a rare art of calligraphy, and ordinary scribbling cannot be compared with it.
Anyone who has visited the Shaoshan Memorial Hall in Shaoshan will see that the small brush written by Mao Zedong when he was a child is on display, the font is so neat, and the strokes are so beautiful. It is precisely because Comrade Mao Zedong has a profound foundation in calligraphy that he has achieved outstanding achievements in cursive calligraphy.
楷書 is the standard font for Chinese characters. 楷, the meaning of exemplary. The words in books and magazines are in italics. In addition, there are line writing and cursive writing. Cursive strokes are simple, flexible and smooth to write, fast, and the disadvantage is that they are difficult to read. Xingshu is a font between cursive and cursive, easier to write than cursive and easier to recognize than cursive. Writing and cursive writing also have their own writing norms, not random writing. It is necessary to practice calligraphy and cursive writing on the basis of practicing calligraphy well. People who have not learned to write and cursive, do not use lines and grass indiscriminately.
We write, in most cases, for others to see. For the sake of others, you should write canonical characters, glyphs should be written correctly, strokes should be clear, and not scribbled.
Xiao Hong wrote a passage of Mr. Lu Xun in the article "Remembering Mr. Lu Xun": "Words do not have to be well written, but they must be recognized by people at a glance, and young people are too busy now... He quickly finished writing things himself, and others could not understand it after reading it three or five times, and he didn't care how much effort it took. Anyway, it wasn't his. This intention is not very good. We should all remember Mr. Lu Xun's words and not be a person who "has a bad heart"!
